The Fourth Trimester
The days and weeks following the birth of your new baby can be overwhelming. You have just been through a life-changing event and although everyone's experience is different, it is likely that you will feel a mix of feelings and emotions from fear and discomfort to undevoted love, happiness and amazement towards your remarkable body and the things it can achieve. The combination of surging hormones, sleepless nights and the sheer physical impact of having a baby, 'the fourth trimester' can often leave new mothers feeling depleted.
It is important to prioritise a nutritious diet in the weeks and months to help heal and recover from birth and set you up for this next chapter in your life.

Omega 3
Omega 3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids (EFA’s). This means they are necessary for human health, but the body can’t make them - we have to consumethem through food.
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are two types of Omega 3 fatty acids that are abundant in oily fish, shellfish, and some algae. The body needs EPA and DHA omega 3’s to develop and function optimally at every stage of life. They are particularly important during conception, pregnancy and breastfeeding.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, an adequate intake of Omega 3 supports the development of your baby’s eyes, their brain, as well as their overall development.
